HYTEX 

ENAMEL  BRICK 


THE  growing  use  of  color  in  modern  building,  both  in 
the  exterior  and  the  interior  wall  surface,  coupled  with 
the  demand  for  a material  which  can  be  readily  washed 
and  cleaned  to  its  original  color  and  surface,  has  in  recent  years 
widely  extended  the  use  of  enamel  brick.  It  can,  however,  in 
truth  be  said  that  architectural  designers  have  only  begun  to 
realize  the  artistic  possibilities  of  this  excellent  and  versatile 
material.  The  work  now  being  done  far  surpasses  that  of  a dec- 
ade ago. 

The  durability,  the  sanitary  cleanliness  and  the  beautiful  rich 
colors  of  Hy-tex  Enamel  Brick  combine  to  form  a material 
worthy  of  the  consideration  of  the  modern  designer.  It  is  a 
load  bearing  material  as  well  as  a decorative  wall  finish;  and 
often  effects  considerable  savings  over  the  purchase  and  erection 
of  two  separate  materials. 

The  durabilitv  and  perfection  of  form  and  color  in  Hy-tex 
Enamel  Brick  are  assured  by  the  skill  and  care  employed  in 
every  stage  of  their  manufacture  and  delivery.  Their  superiority 
is  in  no  small  measure  due  to  the  double  burn  process  by  which 
they  are  made. 

Under  this  double  burn  process,  selected  qualitv,  thoroughly- 
burned,  dry-press  face  brick  are  coated,  on  the  surface  or 
surfaces  to  be  exposed,  with  specially  prepared  enamels  having 
the  same  co-efficient  of  expansion  as  the  brick  itself,  and  are 


then  reburned  so  the  enamel  fuses  with  the  brick  and  becomes 
an  integral  part  of  it.  The  uniformity  of  action  between 
brick  and  enamel  thus  established  entirely  overcomes  crazing, 
checking  or  peeling  of  the  enamel  surface.  Even  the  most 
extreme  variations  in  weather  conditions  to  which  exterior 
walls  are  subjected  can  have  no  damaging  or  deteriorating  effect 
on  Hv-tex  Enamel  Brick. 

After  all,  time  is  the  real  test  of  durability,  and  this  characteristic 
of  Hy-tex  Enamels  is  amply  evidenced  throughout  the  country 
bv  the  many  structures  ten  to  thirty  years  old  in  which  the 
Hv-tex  Enamels  are  as  flawless  and  sound  in  body  and  as  clean 
in  color  as  the  day  they  were  laid.  Except  for  the  superficial 
soil  of  smoke  and  dust,  which  is  easily  washed  off,  the  passing 
years  have  left  no  appreciable  trace  on  the  enamel  surface. 

No  other  material  proves  more  completely  satisfactory  in  re- 
gard to  cleanliness  and  sanitation  than  Hv-tex  Enamel  Brick. 
The  smooth,  hard  surface  of  the  Hy-tex  Enamel  wall  does  not 
catch  or  hold  dirt  any  more  than  does  glass,  and  hence  it  keeps 
equally  as  clean,  and  is  as  easily  washed  when  occasion  requires. 
This  merit  of  cleanliness  naturally  gives  these  brick  a strictly 
sanitary  value.  The  absolute  imperviousness  of  a Hy-tex 
Enamel  wall  to  moisture,  greases,  and  other  contamination  adds 
to  its  clean,  sanitary  character.  Moreover,  due  to  the  hard- 
ness and  toughness  of  the  enamel  surface,  no  unsightly  cracks 
or  crevices  will  develop  to  provide  possible  lodgment  for  dirt 
and  vermin. 

The  combination  of  a clean  appearance  and  sanitary  surface 
makes  Hy-tex  Enamels  indispensable  for  places  where  these 
qualities  are  essential,  as  in  kitchens,  dairies,  restaurants,  hospital 


corridors,  operating  rooms,  bakery  ovens,  food  markets,  display 
rooms,  laundries,  engine  rooms,  schools,  gymnasiums,  theatres, 
toilets,  baths,  swimming  pools,  etc.  Hy-tex  Enamels  are  thus 
extensively  used  with  unqualified  success.  Their  cleanliness 
also  adapts  them  admirably  for  exteriors  of  all  kinds.  A spick 
and  span  appearance  mav  always  be  maintained  at  very  little 
expense. 

In  addition  to  these  very  practical  considerations,  Hy-tex 
Enamel  Brick  offers  the  designer  a wide  variety  of  beautiful 
colors — White,  Ivory,  Transparent  Speckled  Buff,  Brown,  Trans- 
parent Speckled  Brown,  Green,  Jade,  Blue  and  Black — -as  shown 
on  pages  8 and  9.  The  White  is  absolutely  opaque,  and  all 
colors  will  hold  their  lustre  under  the  most  severe  conditions. 

Hy-tex  White  Enamels  are  of  particular  value  for  light 
courts,  vent  shafts,  corridors  and  similar  places  where  it  is  desir- 
able to  conserve  the  last  ray  of  available  light.  They  are  also 
extensively  used  and  highly  recommended  for  the  facing  of  all 
exterior  walls. 

The  colored  Enamels  provide  for  unlimited  decorative  treat- 
ments, as  in  dadoes,  friezes,  trim  courses,  mosaics,  and  in  fact  for 
all  wall  surfaces,  exterior  or  interior,  where  color  effects  are  de- 
sirable. The  color  studies  in  this  book  suggest  a few  possibili- 
ties for  such  use  of  Hy-tex  Enamel  Brick.  The  brochures  which 
are  to  follow  the  issuance  of  this  book  will  carry  such  studies 
into  other  fields. 

The  shapes  in  which  Hy-tex  Enamel  Brick  are  available  are 
shown  on  pages  22  to  37-

HYTEX  ENAMEL  SHAPES 


IN  the  following  pages  are  shown  the  standard  shapes  in 
which  Hy-tex  Enamel  Brick  are  available.  They  fulfill 
all  the  requirements  met  under  ordinary  conditions. 

In  addition  to  the  octagon  return,  as  shown  in  catalogue,  returns 
of  any  angle  may  be  ground  before  enameling,  thus  securing  per- 
fect corners  and  regular  bond. 

Frequently  it  is  essential  to  preserve  the  unbroken  soffit  in  an 
opening  to  avoid  showing  the  steel  angles  supporting  the  wall 
above.  This  is  done  by  “lintelizing.”  This  means  that  the  brick  is 
ground  out  for  the  width  and  thickness  of  the  lintel  and  joint, 
permitting  it  to  be  set  flush  with  the  brick  surface. 

For  shapes  intended  for  swimming  pools,  refer  to  the  brochure 
devoted  to  swimming  pool  construction. 

The  manufactured  size  of  standard  Enamel  Brick  is  8 inches 
long,  3 7 s inches  wide  and  2 Ft  inches  thick.  These  dimensions 
are  subject  to  slight  variation  — as  is  true  in  the  manufacture 
of  all  clav  products.  These  variations,  however,  are  not  suffi- 
ciently large  to  interfere  with  proper  bonding  of  the  wall. 

All  shapes  are  available  in  the  colors  shown  on  pages  8 and  9. 

Various  combinations  of  shapes  are  illustrated  on  pages  23,  29,

HY'TEX  QUALITY  AND  SERVICE 


FOR  over  halt  a century  the  Hydraulic- Press  Brick  Com- 
pany has  been  building  the  reputation  tor  quality  which 
Hy-tex  Brick  enjoys  today.  During  that  time  the  Hy-tex 
organization  has  grown  trom  one  to  twenty-two  plants,  scattered 
over  the  eight  great  clay  producing  states.  This  growth  is  the 
outcome  ot  a manufacturing  and  merchandising  policy,  consist- 
ently pursued  tor  more  than  50  years,  by  which  the  Company 
has  won  a wide  public  confidence  that  insures  the  continued 
patronage  ot  its  customers. 

Hy-tex  quality  is  the  natural  result  of  always  using  carefully 
selected  clays  and  shales  and  of  employing  thoroughly  compe- 
tent and  experienced  experts  in  the  process  of  manufacture. 

But  equally  important  with  Hy-tex  quality  in  the  product 
is  Hy-tex  service.  This  service  which  the  Hydraulic-Press  Brick 
Company  renders  is  two-told,  first  in  the  great  variety  oj  choice 
it  offers  the  intending  purchaser;  and,  secondly,  in  prompt  a?id  reli- 
able delivery  on  the  job. 

It  is  obvious  that  with  twenty-two  plants,  situated  in  eight 
of  the  best  clay  producing  states  in  the  Union,  the  Company  is 
able  to  turn  out  every  possible  variety  of  Face  Brick,  bo  th  in 
color  and  texture;  and  that  the  numerous  distributing  centers 
for  Hy-tex  Brick  bring  Hy-tex  service  practically  within  the 
reach  ot  all.  Whether  it  is  the  lightest  colored  creams,  grays 
and  buffs,  or  the  darkest  reds  and  browns,  in  smooth,  semi- 
smooth, or  rough  textured  Face  Brick,  or  Salt  Glaze,  or  Enamel 
Brick,  you  can  find  just  the  brick  you  want  to  meet  your  par- 
ticular purpose  or  taste. 


[ ?8  ] 


Hy-tex  offers  you  literally  hundreds  of  varied  tones  in  the 
gray,  buff,  or  red  color  ranges.  In  a word,  if  you  are  trying 
to  decide  what  brick  to  use,  you  will  find  it  worth  your  while 
to  apply  to  the  Hy-tex  branch  office  or  representative  nearest 
you,  where  you  will  find  the  widest  ranges  of  color  and  texture 
from  which  to  make  your  selection. 

Then  in  addition  to  finding  what  brick  you  want,  you  are 
vitally  interested  in  getting  it  when  you  want  it.  All  delays  in 
delivering  building  material  are  not  only  annoying  but  expen- 
sive. Here  is  one  of  the  chief  merits  of  Hy-tex  service.  The 
size  and  economic  responsibility  of  the  Company  assure  you  of 
delivery  when  you  want  it.  The  widely  scattered  plants  and 
centers  of  distribution  make  it  possible  to  deliver  your  brick 
to  the  job  on  time,  directly  from  either  the  kiln  or  well  stocked 
warehouses.  This  responsibility  of  a manufacturer  in  being  able 
always  to  render  you  dependable  delivery  when  you  want  it  is 
of  great  importance  when  you  come  to  build.  The  long  con- 
tinued and  successful  history  of  the  Hydraulic-Press  Brick  Com- 
pany is  both  evidence  and  guarantee  that  in  buying  Hy-tex 
Brick  you  will  get  both  quality  in  the  product  itself  and  service 
in  prompt  and  responsible  delivery. 

And  no  matter  whether  you  are  going  to  erect  a skyscraper 
— no  order  is  too  large  to  tax  Hy-tex  capacity — or  build  a 
modest  home  — no  order  is  too  small  for  careful  attention- — it 
is  a fixed  rule  of  the  Hy-tex  organization  to  render  the  same 
service  to  all.  You  will  get  the  brick  you  selected,  and  ship- 
ments will  be  made  on  schedule  time  as  promised,  so  that  there 
will  be  no  costly  delavs  on  your  building  — if  you  see  to  it  that 
your  order  is  placed  in  time.  The  large  and  efficient  Hy-tex 
organization  has  been  built  upon  this  kind  of  quality  and  service.

Mistakes  — if  any  should  occur  — will  be  corrected  to  your  com- 
plete satisfaction  as  a matter  of  Hy-tex  principle. 

Hy-tex,  perhaps,  may  not  always  be  the  cheapest  brick  you 
can  find  on  the  market  — the  Company  has  no  desire  to  make 
such  a claim  for  it — but  when  you  consider  what  you  get  in 
quality  and  service,  you  will  find  that  it  offers  you  a full  meas- 
ure of  value  for  the  price  paid. 

We  invite  you  to  avail  yourself  of  such  service  as  we  can 
render.  Come  to  our  Exhibit  Rooms  and  talk  over  your  brick 
problems.  We  may  be  able  to  clear  up  many  questions  for  vou 
and  help  you  in  a variety  of  ways.  As  we  manufacture  all 
colors  and  textures  of  brick,  we  are  not  prejudiced  in  favor  of 
any.  It  is  simply  our  purpose  to  help  you  find  the  brick  best 
adapted  to  your  building  project.  The  panels  in  our  exhibit 
will  aid  you  greatly  in  making  a selection,  since  they  show 
various  colors  and  textures  of  brick  laid  in  different  bonds  and 
mortar  joints,  and  so  give  you  an  idea  of  how  the  brick  you 
select  will  look  in  the  living  wall.  A visit  incurs  no  obligation 
on  vour  part;  and  it  is  always  a pleasure  for  us  to  talk  with 
people  interested  in  Face  Brick,  and  Face  Brick  problems.
